{Our Time in PEI} ~ Anne of Green Gables Chocolates

I told Mr. Husband that I was doing a blog post

on the store that is in Avonlea Village.

Oh you are going to write about a tourist trap?

He quipped.

Well... let's just say we were both excited to 

get some special food things there for our

friends and family... :)

There is also a store in downtown Charlottetown... 

Yes, Anne is 'big business' there but if you think

about all the things published today

and in the last years for kids,

I would myself be mighty glad that 

Lucy Maud Montgomery books are still well loved!

And that there are places that are trying

to preserve the past and promote it.

There is no century I guess that is what we want it to be,

at least from my perspective

as in with beauty, modesty, Christ-loving, peaceful

but should we not at least appreciate the beauty 

that is still to be found and the times where it was

harder in many ways,

out houses, older equipment for laundry, dishes,

farming was a real man's job and not at all easy

(not that it is today but you know what I mean,

horse and buggy verses tractors etc).

Anyway,

I don't find these things (stores) to be a totally bad thing...

I love Matthew and his quiet love of Anne.

A red fizzy drink, much to some people's dismay ;)

I did not buy the hot chocolate, 

knowing I would be in Ottawa shortly there after

and could get camino chocolate there...

and when I am not using that, Fry's cocoa... 

Anne and Diana dolls :)

Cute, eh?

They had really great jams, chocolates and other food 

all made in PEI, so it was a special treat that

we passed on to many :)
